      Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite images are used to monitor Arctic sea ice, with systematic data records dating back to 1991. We propose a semi-supervised classification method that separates open water from sea ice and can utilise ERS-1/2, Envisat ASAR, RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1 SAR images. The classification combines automatic segmentation with a manual segment selection stage. The ...

    • Improving satellite-based monitoring of the polar regions: Identification of research and capacity gaps 

      Gabarró, Carolina; Hughes, Nick; Wilkinson, Jeremy; Bertino, Laurent; Bracher, Astrid; Diehl, Thomas; Dierking, Wolfgang Fritz Otto; Gonzalez-Gambau, Veronica; Lavergne, Thomas; Madurell, Theresa; Malnes, Eirik; Wagner, Penelope Mae (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-17)
      We present a comprehensive review of the current status of remotely sensed and in situ sea ice, ocean, and land parameters acquired over the Arctic and Antarctic and identify current data gaps through comparison with the portfolio of products provided by Copernicus services. While we include several land parameters, the focus of our review is on the marine sector. The analysis is facilitated by the ...
    • UAV-BORNE UWB RADAR FOR SNOWPACK SURVEYS 

      Eckerstorfer, Markus; Jenssen, Rolf Ole Rydeng; Kjellstrup, Andre; Storvold, Rune; Malnes, Eirik; Jacobsen, Svein Ketil (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)
      In this report we summarize the capabilities and technical characteristics of our UAV-borne UWB radar system, designed for conducting snow surveys. We developed an ultrawideband snow sounder that is capable of imaging snow stratigraphy with a 5 cm range resolution. The radar can be carried by an octocopter UAV in order to carry out airborne snowpack surveys. During a demonstration on Andøya, we ...
